Against the Loveless World
by Susan Abulhawa
challenging
emotional
hopeful
informative
inspiring
reflective
sad
"Silence here is not the absence of sound but the presence of a dense unshakeable stillness, like dark matter in space.
Silence here is a living force that slides into all corners and seams."
"Music is like spoken language, inextricable from its culture. If you don't learn a language early in life, its words will forever come out wrinkled, and accented by another world no matter how well you memorise or love the vocabulary, grammar and cadences of a new language."
This book is so incredibly captivating. It's a story about many things really, above all about Palestinian resilience. Heart-wrenching, complex, powerful. I know that the characters will stay with me for a long time. Also, the author has such a soft and unique voice.
Long live the resistance!
